Handbook on the economics of leisure
Surprisingly, the field of leisure economics is not, thus far, a particular integrated or coherent one. In this volume, a wide ranging body of international scholars get to grips with this issue, taking in the traditional income/leisure choice model of textbook microeconomics and Becker's allocation of time model along the way.

Economics and Youth Violence
How do economic conditions such as poverty, unemployment,
inflation, and economic growth impact youth violence? Economics and
Youth Violence provides a much-needed new perspective on this
crucial issue. Pinpointing the economic factors that are most
important, the editors and contributors in this volume explore how
different kinds of economic issues impact children, adolescents,
and their families, schools, and communities.Offering new and
important insights regarding the relationship between macroeconomic
conditions and youth violence across a variety of times and places,
chapters cover such issues as the effect of inflation on youth
violence; new quantitative analysis of the connection between race,
economic opportunity, and violence; and the cyclical nature of
criminal backgrounds and economic disadvantage among families.
Highlighting the complexities in the relationship between economic
conditions, juvenile offenses, and the community and situational
contexts in which their connections are forged, Economics and Youth
Violence prompts important questions that will guide future
research on the causes and prevention of youth violence.
